From page 201...
... Although specific studies can be performed to increase knowledge at a specific time in a specific area, it is not now practical from either a cost or time standpoint to commission the research required to build a specific microanalytic model with any degree of completeness or closure.55 The substance of models must generally stand on knowledge that is already available. The computer-based component affecting the availability and supply of microanalytic simulation models is more tractable to improvement.
